Only a little over a week ago, the F1 world collectively held their breath when news broke that Fernando Alonso was involved in an accident. However, the initial fear was dissipated when the details and subsequent reports of Alonso’s well-being emerged.
A medical professional further put fans’ concerns to rest when he said the Spaniard would be ready for the start of the season. And it looks like the Alpine driver is ramping up preparations for just that.
The pre-season tests in Bahrain will commence on March 12. With Alonso having been out of the sport, it’s imperative for him to be in peak physical condition when the season begins. As such, the two-time world champion has begun physical training already. He took to social media to share with fans his first steps on road to recovery.

Fans will be delighted to see the progress he is making and will look forward to watching him hit the track soon.

There is no doubting his talent or legacy. But at 39 years of age, will he be at his physical peak? it seems highly unlikely. But It would be foolish to think that he can’t prove us wrong. After all, it’s worth mentioning that he did top the time charts in the young drivers’ test late last year.
